Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[White Heather]

Thanks lbaspotter, but who are these charters operating for? I suspect its the first time we have had charter flights to Marakech - odd that they are happening now when we have just had Jet2 announcing flights there next spring too. Even more strange is that the flights are being operated by Adria. It will be nice to see them back at LBA after such a long gap.

Jet2 will be operating five Hajj flights from next week.

 

[LBA787]

Looks like there will be a cityjet a/c in Leeds on Monday morning. Not sure if it will be a RJ85 or F50.

08:00 arr from ROTTERDAM WX932

17:30 dep to ROTTERDAM WX933

Leeds Utd FC are running a special charter flight using an Airbus A320 aircraft from Leeds-Bradford to London Gatwick on Thursday, November 1st for fans wanting to travel with the Team to the away Championship game against Brighton & Hove Albion at Amex Stadium which takes place on Friday, November 2nd.

After the game fans will be transferred straight from the ground via executive coach to London Gatwick Airport and be flown back to Leeds-Bradford later that evening.

See link for full details. http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20121016/fly-with-the-team-to-brighton_2247585_2950119

Anyone know which airline might be involved?

 

[White Heather]

Well its almost like the old times in the days of Ridsdale, Goldfish and one of the best teams in Europe. Pity their ad shows a 737 300 when the flight is on an A320, but a minor gripe. As long as LUFC win the game I don't really care. But an A320 is quite a step up compared to what they have been flying to the South Coast on in recent years.

Eastern Air used an Embraer 135 on this mornings and now the afternoon Bristol / Aberdeen flights.

 

[Bigman]

A German Dornier 328 D-CIRD has just worked in on the BE6980 from Glasgow. I think it did yesterday evenings flight as well.

 

[Bigman]

... and a C130 came over Eastbound at 11:35. Looked like it did a missed approach.

 

[lbaspotter]

2x Embrear 135 Legacy business jets have just arrived into Leeds-Bradford this evening and are both currently sat on the Southside Multiflight ramp..

PT-TRM Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy 650 = "Embraer European Demo Aircraft"
G-HUBY Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy = "London Executive Aviation"

 

[lbaspotter]

Travel Service, Boeing 737-800, OK-TVB is currently operating the EXS186 from Malaga this afternoon on lease to Jet2.com, Now i wonder if he will get in?

 

[White Heather]

British Midland are operating a charter from Bournemouth to LBA tomorrow morning, flight number BM8011. It returns to Bouremouth tomorrow evening as the BM8012. I would strongly suspect that this flight is carrying Southampton FC who are at Elland Road tomorrow evening for the cup match v LUFC.

Spot on with that Heather. The flight goes back out after the match.

 

[lbaspotter]

It's British Midland Regional Ltd, trading as bmi regional.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it. It's had so many guises over the years.
